Reflective

Reflection was provided to me 

through the words 

i scattered on the page

a mirror where i cant see myself 

but i know myself more clearly here

i see my faults 

my flaws 

the times when i failed 

when i hurt you 

i promise i didnt mean to 

i see all this in the words i write

the anger i pour forth 

an infection being drained

from my brain 

i keep them hidden 

from your eyes 

the hurt will never mar your face

i write as a diagnostic of the hurt inside

i write to draw it out of me 

i write to leave it on the page
